Los Angeles Lakers Tickets Information

The Los Angeles Lakers are perhaps the most iconic franchise in NBA history. Starting out in Minneapolis in 1948, the Lakers were immediately the best team in the NBA, riding All-Star center George Mikan to championships in 1949, '50, '52, '53 and '54. Though Los Angeles won just one title in the 1960s and '70s, they were still an elite team—led by superstars like Elgin Baylor, Gail Goodrich, Jerry West and later Wilt Chamberlain. The 1980s were highlighted by the Showtime Lakers, who won five titles with superstars Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and James Worthy. With Kobe Bryant, the Lakers again were at the top of the basketball world starting in the late-1990s. Bryant teamed with Shaquille O'neal to win three championships in the early 2000s before winning another two after O'neal left. Though making the playoffs in the NBA isn't quite what it is in the NFL or MLB, a testament to the Lakers' excellence is that they have missed postseason play just five times in the franchise's 65 years. Los Angeles has retired the numbers of seven players to commemorate their impact on the franchise. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Los Angeles Lakers basketball tickets.

2015 Lakers Season Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers finished the 2013-2014 season with more losses than any other season in team history. The Lakers had a closing record of 27-55 and missed the NBA playoffs for only the 3rd season since 1977. Los Angeles can hang much of this failure on the massive amounts of injuries that the team faced including to superstar Kobe Bryant, who missed all but 6 games of the season. This result led the team to bring in former Lakers player Byron Scott as the head coach going into the 2014-15 NBA season.

Gone from last year’s LA Lakers team are Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman, Jordan Farmar, and Jodie Meeks. Replacing them in Los Angeles are Carlos Boozer, Jeremy Lin and talented rookie Julius Randle. Kobe Bryant will try to return to his typical world class form after missing much of the last 2 seasons with injuries. The Lakers will look to compete in a packed Western Conference, but have the talent to finish in the top half of the league and should return to the NBA Playoffs.

Ticketcity and the lakers Had an amazing time and seats to the lakers- ticketcity hoked me up and have done so for years- always reliable and i wouldnt buy from anywhere else! February 2, 2015

Sweet Seats! From beginning to end it was non-stop action at the Lakers game we attended. We had amazing seats which put us 5 rows behind the players. My sons have played the game for a majority of their lives and this experience was the pinnacle of their basketball careers.When I asked all 4 of my boys if the players were as big as they had imagined each one of them said, ''They're bigger!''
